Medison has added digital multibeam processing to its SonoAce 8000 SE mid-level ultrasound system. The new capability, shown at the RSNA meeting, increases frame rates during both color and 2D imaging and supports harmonic imaging to enhance clarity and spatial resolution. Features include multibeam color and Doppler imaging and pulsed-wave spectral Doppler.

The enhanced version of the SonoAce 8000 offers software-based 3D image rendering, called Freehand 3D. The company's SonoView Lite image management software and DICOM compatibility are built into SonoAce 8000SE. The company has expanded on-board data storage with an 80-gigabyte hard drive and optional CD/RW drive.
The new system release is being positioned as an entry-level color system for small private cardiology, general imaging, and ob/gyn offices and clinics. The company is planning commercial release for radiology in early 2005, with a cardiology upgrade planned for the second half of 2005.

Study Finds Transvaginal Ultrasound Unreliable for Detecting Endometrial Cancer in Black Patients
July 3rd 2024Utilizing a threshold of less than 5 mm of ultrasound-measured endometrial thickness, the authors of a new study noted an 11.4 percent false-negative probability for endometrial cancer in Black patients.
New Study Shows Non-Radiologists Interpreting 28 Percent of Imaging for Medicare Patients
June 28th 2024While radiologists interpreted approximately 99 percent of all non-cardiac CT, MRI and nuclear medicine studies in hospital and emergency department settings for Medicare beneficiaries, new research shows significantly less radiologist review of cardiac imaging and office-based imaging.
